It was quite long, i dont remember. I used hit and trial method to solve this. There were 10 numbers in each choice (four multiple).
I just checked that whether any one of the 10 numbers is divisible by 7 or not. It would reject the possibility of answer. The option A consisted 10 numbers which were not divisible by seven. In the rest of the options at least 1 number was there which was divisble by 7.

My experience: I was not the initiator. Neither i was second nor third. When as the fourth person I started at a time 4 people started too simultaneously. It was just a mess. I kept quiet. But I though this wont do. I just made all of them shut upand said,"Just maintain the quoram. Lets everybody speak individually". This was followed for hardly 1 mins and again the same thing happened. The our observer started to ask individually to some people for conclusion.
According to me GD was not all satisfactory for me. But I got through.
One of my friend was the initiator in another group and he initiated well. He thot now his turn is over and he just kept quiet. He was deselected.
